About The Position

The Modeling and Analytics Graduate Network (MAGNet) program is a unique multi-semester internship opportunity designed to prepare graduate students for a full-time data science position at State Farm. Throughout their time in the program, MAGNet interns apply their predictive modeling and analytical skills to a variety of data science problems to augment their theoretical coursework while also developing professionally. This internship is designed to last the duration of an intern's graduate studies with renewal on a semester-by-semester basis. Graduate students at Arizona State University (ASU) in highly quantitative disciplines are considered, with an emphasis on understanding of statistical techniques. MAGNet interns are expected to remain in good academic standing and continue to make significant progress towards their degree during academic semesters.
